Onlookers gather to see the intensity of destruction after the blasts at Worli in Bombay on March 12, 1993. 12 bomb blasts rocked Bombay targeting important hubs of the city like Bombay Stock exchange, Kalbadevi, Shiv Sena Bhavan, Air India building at Nariman Point, Fishermen's Colony in Mahim, Worli Century Bazar, Zaveri Bazar, Hotel SeaRock in Bandra, among other places, killing about 300 hundred people and injuring more than 1500.

Bombay Stock exchange building engulfed in fumes after the bomb blast, leaving 84 dead, 217 injured, in Bombay on March 12, 1993. In all, 12 bombs were detonated in Bombay, bringing the city to a stand-still. The attacks were coordinated by Dawood Ibrahim, don of the Bombay-based international organized crime syndicate named D-Company and his sub-ordinate Tiger Memon. Both the prime accused have absconded.

A Mumbai Special Court on Wednesday awarded life sentence to three of the accused for the 2002-03 triple bombings. The three include the prime accused Muzammil Ansari.Four others were given 10 years jail term, including Saquib Nachan, the general secretary of the outlawed Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI).Three other convicts were given two years jail term by Special POTA Judge P. R. Deshmukh.

Nine years after a series of bomb blasts in suburban trains rattled the metropolis killing 188 people, a special MCOCA court in Mumbai sentenced five of the 12 convicted in the case to death while the remaining were awarded life imprisonment on September 30.

The apex court said it agreed with TADA court's decision to acquit him from terror charges but offences under Arms Act were clearly made out for possessing and later destroying weapons of prohibited calibre.

Sanjay Dutt, who has already served nearly 18 months in jail, will now have to go to jail and serve the remaining term. Dutt will not be able to shoot pictures during the remaining three and a half years of prison term, the apex court said.

Sanjay Dutt was sentenced to six years in jail for illegal possession of arms by the trial court. However, he was acquitted of terror charges under the Terrorists and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act. He was given Sanjay Dutt bail in 2007 and had allowed to go abroad several times.

Dutt is at present busy finishing the shoot for TP Agarwal's film Policegiri. "It's a race against time on the sets," a source from the film unit told TOI. The actor has already completed Apoorva Lakhia's Zanjeer in which he plays Sher Khan, the character epitomised by legendary actor Pran. A few days ago, he shot a song for the film. "He has done an amazing job in the song and we are sure it will become one of the highlights on the film," a source close to the film said.

Stating that Hrithik Roshan, Abhay Deol, Farhan Akhtar, Arjun Rampal and other Bollywood personalities attended the Khan do which went on till the wee hours of Thursday morning, the newspaper stated that the party has exposed Khan. (Pic: Viral Bhayani)
